Rumplestiltskin/Mr. GoldGnomish, intense, and crazy, he’s the malevolent trickster who can spin straw into gold is able to see the future and prefers his payment in the form of firstborn children. An expert on black magic and the dark arts, this creature has wizardly powers to make him a fair match for anyone in the land. He is one of the most feared beings in Fairytale Land and is notorious for his deals. He is the Dark One, the greatest deceiver in a land where things are rarely what they seem. If you’ve found yourself in a deal with Rumplestiltskin, your luck has just run out. Magic always comes at a cost, and everyone foolish or desperate enough to make a deal with him finds this out the hard way. Even after the curse, he continued to lord over the people of Storybrooke as the enigmatic Mr. Gold. Storybrooke's wealthy resident whose influence seems to know no limit. However, Rumplestiltskin was not born with such power. Once a simple man of meager means, his love for his son Baelfire drove him down the path toward darkness. Still, love may yet prove to be Rumple’s redemption—his feelings for Belle have begun to reawaken the man he used to be. Someone who has always made the wrong choices, Rumplestiltskin may still have a chance to set things right.

I thought so......Carol what interview did you see do you have link did they do another interview and change there story?

No, I don't have the link, but I think it was an interview back towards the beginning of the season - - and now I'm thinking that maybe they didn't say that 'explicitly, but the subject of Gold getting Henry for Regina was brought up and they never really gave an 'actual' answer - just were vague like not giving away spoilers , so I probably just took it 'to mean' that he kept his memory all along, because how else could he have ended up with baby Henry (all the way from Phoenix!?!)...

I never heard that and it makes no damn sense because Regina ask Gold what his name was when he was arrested for beating up belles dad and he told her Rumplestiltskin to get the cup back.

SO some one royal screwed that one up. Are you sure they said when the curse broke because before that they definately said when Emma said her name. Gees they really need to get their own facts straight.

What about the whole Story Brooke 'side' of the 'Beauty and the Beast' episode?Why would Gold care so much about that cup AND go after (can't remember his name) the StoryBrooke version of Belles father, UNLESS he remembered the whole story that Regina told him/Rump about what had happened to Belle after he sent her away?!?

Carol they said he got his memory back when he met Emma and she said her name. SO he had his memory the since the first episode.

That's what everyone thought at the time, and had many discussions about it...BUT; then there was some big live interview where the reporter asked the writers about Rumps memories, and they said that he did not have his memories until the day the curse broke, just like everyone else...

I just really wish the writers would come out and say they made a mistake and had never thought of that 'issue' at the time they were asked that question in that interview...they should admit that they gave a spur of the moment answer and really had never discussed Rump's memory before...
